Eric Bibb’s breakout performance at the London Blues Festival thrust him into the front ranks among blues and songwriting circles in Europe, where he has lived for most of his adult life. In recent years, North American audiences have also experienced his “stripped-down acoustic blues that quietly rocks the soul.” A performance by Eric Bibb is an enriching experience, both musically and spiritually. As the godson of Paul Robeson, the nephew of John Lewis, and the son of Leon Bibb, Eric Bibb was raised in an environment where music was crucial. He brings that same intensity, along with what the Dayton Daily News calls “grace, elegance and gentleness” to the concert stage as an increasingly popular performer.
